Beauty, according to Disney

    Newer Older

    Geez, how would we know what ideal to have for women if it weren't for Walt Disney? First, we have the waist. This waist isn't even achievable on the model circuit, and the combination of that waist and brust would lead our poor beauty to chronic back problems. The hair? Gotta be extensions. Never seen hair like that on a real person. Finally, what's with Disney's woman always talking to birds on their hands? If a bird came up to any woman (or man) I know, they probably flip out and swat it.

    This figurine is not some old relic from the antique shop, it's Disney's Modern Woman. It's a laugh, because they go to all of this trouble to pretend that they're "feminist" by making movies with female leads, but that's just an appeal to 50% of the market. They still treat women like crap in their narratives.

    In Disney, aren't the mothers of most of these women/girls either gone or evil?

    In Disney, doesn't the heroine always get supplemented by the male hero... or have to ACT like a male in order to succeed?

    I'd love to hear your thoughts what you think the "message" is behind most of these Disney tales...

      To be completely honest, I can see your side of the view and whatnot, and I honestly haven't done any research into Disney and their stance on feminism. With that said, I believe that all of you people, the "subliminal message" searchers, the "unachievable beauty" hunters, the poor sports that just can't leave things how they are really get on my damned nerves...

      People make porn with little children, torture human beings and you're going to sit here and bitch about how a CARTOON character has unachievable looks...Are you serious? You think that writing this little blog is going to make the entire world look different at a company has been around longer than you've been born? There were penises on The Little Mermaid original case, and they're still making movies...I don't really think that a few people getting pissy about unachievable beauty (that's absolutely everywhere, and it's hilarious that you only picked the dumbest one) are going to make any kind of difference...Sheesh

      Oh, and FYI, 90% of your comments are on how PRETTY the picture is, lol, go figure huh?
